The fire in Fornos de Algodres is under control after two reignitions. The first alert was issued around five o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the fire was consuming an area of scrubland in the Union of Parishes of Juncais, Vila Ruiva and Vila Soeiro do Chão. According to RTP, meteorological conditions such as wind and rising temperatures complicate the firefighting operations.

So far, 354 firefighters and 15 aerial resources have been mobilized to the site. Despite the efforts, difficulties continue to be reported on the ground due to adverse weather conditions.
